The current flag business has NOTHING to do with old Confederacy--but has EVERYTHING to do with a possible NEW one...
The race problems in America are caused by the Democrat party!!
The Confederate flag will rise again. But this time it will rise as a symbol of freedom lost, another form of slavery.
A great American!

That man just did more for racial reconciliation than all the politicians back to Lincoln.
That fellow “gets” what the rebel flag represents. It stands for the southern way of life and for having the moral backbone to stand for something you believe in. It’s about cornbread and collard greens and y’all come on in and eat. It’s about church revivals and settin’ on the porch after supper, watching the kids catching fireflies. That guy knows blacks and rednecks got more in common with each other, than either of us have with any Yankee liberal carpetbagger trying to tell us how to live. Hell no we’re not gonna change, and obama and his posse can’t make us.
Slaves and rednecks are the ones who toil in the hot sun, put the food on the table, build the roads and bridges. We’re tired of being treated with disdain.

WHY THE REGIME PICKED ON THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG AND NOT ROOF’S MANIFESTO
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division.Through the use of the “Bully Pulpit”. POTUS created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. Including a young Austrailian champion runner vacationing here staying with relatives on holiday in the US that was murdered while jogging near a black area. There were about a score (20) or more of such incidents.And each was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!” ..
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out.
Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag.,That flag by the way was never displayed by the KKK in their marches. It was allways the Stars and Stripes and when South Carolina governor Earnest Hollings ordered it displayed to protest desegregation in the 60’s it was misused as an insult to blacks. Where it remained flying on the state capitol flag pole until this year.
Not mentioning the Roof manifesto begs the question if Obama had not proceeded with this perverse “progressive” agenda which ended up up with scores of killings. Would this “wacko” have had that excuse .?
Perverting what the Confederate battle flag’s represents at the same time diverts any attention to the regimes complicity in engendering those previous racial incidents unanswerable for those deaths..
While some talk show hosts acknowledge there’s racial rhetoric of division being used by the regime. They have yet to acknowledge and identify the political objective of its use of (racial) division. Which is permitting unimpeded continuation of the destruction of the constitution through the use of racial division .
Never? You've only got to google "KKK Confederate Flag" to see plenty of pictures of Klansmen with the Confederate Battle Flag, so that statement is obviously false.
The reason it became popular is that there were at least three or four Ku Klux Klans in history. The second and largest Klan movement -- powerful in the 1920s -- didn't use the Confederate flag. The other Klans did.
It was a confusing war for sure. Take MD. the 1st MD wore blue. The 2nd MD wore blue. There was also the 1st MD CSA and 2nd MD CSA.
Yea I shouldn’t say never but in their Washington and other national marches to the best of my knowledge by policy it wasn’t featured. Just like Hollings using it to ptotest desegregating the schools in South Carolina the conclusion was it was directed against blacks.
Point is; As the government started sticking its nose into our tents and lives the use of the Confederate Battle Flag was simply used as a popularized emblem of defiance and protest. To many that display it that was never considered to be because one supported slavery but may be racist.
Even those that do so, also probably would deny supporting slavery of people in any form including people with black skin. Use of it as a choice symbol of protest though, does runs the risk of a viewer comming to that conclusion thanks to todays “progressives”.
But it should be pointed out that blacks also fought and died on the side of the Confederacy . In the view of the southerners while that greatest loss of life as a result of that conflict. It was not just about the abolition of slavery as it is currently being poltically correctly explained and used. And any move to ban its use should be considered a violation of the Constitutional free speech amendments.

Me being a black man I would say that he’s ignorant and he doesn’t understand or know how many of his ancestors died under that flag! But they still have the right to fly that flag!
I can appreciate your concern. But may I ask .... how many Africans were brought to the United States via Slave Ships that flew under the Stars and Stripes of the United States of America?
